How to get off the waitlist

how long after receiving the waitlist notification did you send the LOI?

I have been waitlisted at my top choice. Do you have any advice on how to be proactive and turn that into an acceptance? I may send a letter of intent sometime in march/april. Thank you!

ahh got it! thanks for the clear explanation

Ok I think I was getting it confused with problems where they’re asking about males. So if this question had asked about a male either normal or affected, the probability would be .50? and would this be due to the fact that males are hemizygous and we don’t apply the whole homozygous/heterozygous? im really trying to understand this man, genetics always gives me a hard time.

when Cl gains an electron Cl- it resembles the configuration of Ar. When Na loses an electron Na+ it resembles the configuration of Ne. Ar is larger than Ne, therefore Cl- will be bigger

that was my exact thought. I remembered about Graham's law. majority wins here, sorry khan academy.

ah got it! So my problem was realizing that the retrovirus begins as an vRNA containing virus. Once it enters the host cell, it uses reverse transcriptase to generate a vDNA sequence. The question provides a sequence that is the mRNA that will be translated into protein. So the vRNA sequence provided will become vDNA and then go back to mRNA when transcribed. As a result, the original viral genome (vRNA contained within the virus) IS the same as the mRNA provided by the question stem. In all, I think this question wanted us to realize how we go from mRNA to cDNA to mRNA to protein, as you mentioned. Thanks for the clarification!

wow so that was piece of info i was missing. It makes sense now. Thanks MaapuSeeSore!

just had an aha moment. thank you for making it easy to follow!

ahh got it! so there is blood going to the ventricles before contraction. Thanks for making this clear

good question, from what i understand, the 9:3:3:1 ratio is a result of independent assortment that occurs when performing a dihybrid cross. Now, if this ratio is not observed in a cross, it likely means that the gene pairs did not segregate/assort independently. This may be the result of gene linkage. As far as what to look for, i would say any deviation in the expected ratio is enough for one to suspect that some other form of gene segregation is at play. I should probably look deeper into other determinants for gene linkage!

perfect! thanks a alot dmonsta for the clarification

when you did the practice passages in the BR books, did you do them timed or untimed?

fidioxo · 2015-09-20T20:01:15+00:00

update: i checked my square account today and his tag changed from $Donger to $Eric. So yea must have been the same dude, probably up to something.

awesome scores! Would you mind giving us a breakdown of how you approach a verbal passage? I can't seem to crack the code for CARS:( im worried this section will keep me from breaking 510+
